In a bowl, beat together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, orange peel (if desired), and spices. In an ungreased 2 quart baking dish, toss together bread cubes and fruit. Pour egg mixture over bread/fruit. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 40–55 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly. You can use your favorite sauce such as a caramel sauce for topping.
